-New Beers-
Aslan Brewing Co. & Crosby Hops
Captain Planet IPA
Equal parts malted and unmalted wheat made 50% of the malt profile, while organic barley made the other half. Massively hopped with Chinook and Bravo hop hash, then double dry hopped with El Dorado. This IPA is very reminiscent in mouthfeel and flavor of Minute Maid OJ.
7.3% ABV
Boundary Bay Brewery & Lost Giants Cider Co
The Graf
This cider beer, known as a Graf, is a combination of apple, malt and hops! The Graf was brewed in collaboration with Bellingham’s newest cidery, Lost Giants Cider Company! This lighter-bodied and hazy beer is a refreshing rush of semi-sweet apple and malt characteristics. With low bitterness, The Graf is perfect for a taste or a pint. Made with Citra and Calypso hops, Pink Lady and Dessert Blend Apples, and Pilsner and Vienna malts.
5% ABV, 28 IBU
Boundary Bay Brewery and Brothers Cascadia
Three Degree Haze IPA
Calibrating this Hazy IPA took a latitude adjustment of only three degrees to accomplish! Brothers Cascadia Brewing (Vancouver, Washington) navigated the I-5 corridor to collaborate on this Hazy IPA. Three Degree Haze combines a zealous deep-orange haziness with a tropical, juicy essence for a brand new experience.
6% ABV, 35 IBU
GRUFF Brewing Co.
N.E. Blood Orange IPA
Made with flaked oats, wheat and grain from Skagit Valley Malting, GRUFF’s second Bellingham Beer Week special release is filled to the brim with blood oranges. An eclectic variety of hops were added to this brew, like Idaho 7, Zythos and Ekuanot hop hash. Come get it before it’s gone!
6.8% ABV
Kulshan Brewing Co.
Heliotrope IPA
This is a fruit forward IPA, with a focus on citrus and tropic fruits. You’ll notice a little berry with a pleasant pine finish that leaves a dry linger for more. Come check out the newest addition to Kulshan’s stellar IPA lineup at the K2 location.
Menace Brewing
Hefeweizen
It’s getting warmer every day! There’s one kind of beer we wait all year for and Menace has brought it right in time for the sunshine. This hazy Hef goes perfectly with an orange slice, of course. Make sure to go enjoy the worlds best combo, Hef’s, sunshine and beer gardens.
